Thank you all for a WONDERFUL Summer Reading Program!  
One of our best years ever!! 
170 children and teens participated and read a total of 
1,396 books.  
CONGRATULATIONS!

Reading logs and prizes are here in the Children's Room 
and are ready to be picked up now.
  
If your child has received a Water Country pass, a couple of things to note:  the park is open thru Sept. 3, hours are 10:30-6:30 until Aug. 20th, when the park will begin closing at 5:30.  
If you plan on purchasing additional tickets, you may want to do so on-line as they
 are considerably less expensive.
